Digital Sovereignty is Not Just an IP Address in Québec!
Some companies present themselves as champions of digital sovereignty.
They're everywhere: on TV, in our newspapers, and in social media ads. Their message is simple: their servers are in Québec, so your data is protected.
But the reality is different.
The Problem with False Sovereignty
Behind this shiny facade, they still rely on American proprietary technologies like VMware and OpenShift.
Two technologies under the U.S. Cloud Act.
Two technologies that always leave the back door open.
The result: Even if your servers are in Québec, your data can still be accessible in Washington.
Is that really sovereignty? No.
The House Analogy
👉 It's like buying a house in Québec, but the keys are made and kept in the U.S. You never have full control.
Even though you own the building, someone else controls access. That's not ownership - that's an illusion of control.
The Patrii Cloud Difference
At Patrii Cloud, we're not about marketing slogans. We're about building something real:
✅ We build with open source (OpenStack, Ceph, FreeIPA, etc.)
✅ We keep 100% Canadian control, without depending on closed U.S. licenses
✅ No backdoors, no foreign jurisdiction over your data
Our Long-Term Vision
And this is only the beginning. Our long-term vision is clear:
🔧 Develop Canadian hardware: CPUs, GPUs, servers, etc.
🏗️ Build a 100% Canadian technology stack, from the metal to the software
🔒 Guarantee true control over our data, here in Canada
Why Open Source Matters
Open source isn't just about free software - it's about transparency, security, and independence.
With proprietary American technology:
- ❌ You can't audit the code for backdoors
- ❌ You're subject to U.S. jurisdiction (Cloud Act, FISA)
- ❌ You depend on foreign companies for updates and security patches
- ❌ Your vendor can change terms, raise prices, or discontinue service
With open source technology:
- ✅ Complete code transparency - no hidden backdoors
- ✅ Canadian jurisdiction for your data and infrastructure
- ✅ Community-driven development and security
- ✅ Freedom to modify, audit, and control your stack
The Bottom Line
📢 Digital sovereignty is not a slogan.
It's a fight to keep our data here, with our technologies, not someone else's.
At Patrii Cloud, we're moving in that direction. Because Canada deserves better than window dressing: it deserves authentic digital sovereignty.
